PUTRAJAYA: Former prime minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin failed in his bid to restore his discharge and acquittal (DAA) order on four abuse of power charges linked to the Jana Wibawa programme during his tenure.

A five-member Court of Appeal (CoA) panel led by judge Datuk Azizah Nawawi dismissed the 77-year-old's application for a review.

"We find that the earlier panel (CoA) had the requisite to hear and adjucate the matter (the panel's decision to allow the prosecution's appeal to reinstate the four charges against Muhyiddin).

"This application is dismissed," she said.

Also on the panel were Datuk Ruzima Ghazali, Datuk Ahmad Zaidi Ibrahim, Datuk Azman Abdullah and Datuk Azhahari Kamal Ramli.

The prosecution was represented by deputy public prosecutors Datuk Dusuki Mokhtar, Datuk Wan Shaharuddin Wan Ladin and Ahmad Akram Gharib.

The defence team was led by lawyer Datuk Hisyam Teh Poh Teik.
